Lu Xiao hid his whereabouts and appearance in front of Red A as much as possible, but it should be impossible not to be guessed at all.

Kiritsugu and Maiya are both battle-hardened veterans, and it's not so easy to fool them.

The loss of the little grail and his wife left Kiritsugu in a state of turmoil, but he had to force himself to calm down and try to think about his next steps.

"There is so little information about the Assassin, except for the death battle with the Holy Maiden Marda, all the information about him is hidden in the dark, and we don't even know who his master is, where his stronghold is, how many treasures and inherent skills he has."

"Master, since we don't have the exact information for the time being, we might as well think about it in another direction."

Lancer reminded: "According to Alice Phil, Fuyuki's Holy Grail system only summons Assassins related to the Assassin Order, can we guess which generation of Hassan he is based on the existing information?" ”

Kiritsugu rubbed his eyebrows with a headache: "Here's the problem, I, Erie, and Maiya have searched all the relevant information of the Assassin Order, and none of the generations of Hassan have ever had anything to do with the Sword of Damocles. ”

"About that."

Red A suddenly interjected, "As an atonement for the loss of Alice Phil, I can tell you that Assassin is the goal of my mission. ”

"Although the Suppression Force does not provide much useful information, it can force the Suppression Force to send two Heroic Spirits to chase and kill one after another in the midst of his busy schedule, and the origin of that Assassin is definitely not ordinary."

"You'd better not tie his identity to the Assassin Order entirely, he may have been summoned by an external Assassin through illegal means."

"Nope."

Kiritsugu retorted categorically, "Only this is impossible. ”

Lancer looked puzzled, "Master, why are you so sure of the origin of the Assassin?" Could it be that you have intelligence channels that we don't know about? ”

Kiritsugu shook his head, "I can't tell you for sure, but I can assure you that the Assassin was summoned through the Order's contract with the Great Holy Grail, and he is indeed connected to the Assassin Order, but we haven't found any clues about it." ”

"So?"

Red A leaned against the wall with his hands on his chest, and asked in a slightly mocking tone, "Can we only wait patiently for the Assassin to show up?" ”

As a Master and Heroic Spirit who participated in the Fifth Holy Grail War, Red A is very clear about the nature of the Einzberen family, and he is the only person on the scene who knows the true purpose of the Assassin's abduction of Alice Phil.

"Now that the Assassin has the most important juncture of the Holy Grail War, what if he decides to hide behind the scenes and watch the tiger fight?"

Red A's question made everyone else present frown, and Kiritsugu gritted his teeth and said, "We can't just sit back and wait, we have to find a way to get Erie back." ”

"Maiya, Lancer, and the Guardians."

Kiritsugu solemnly ordered the three of them: "Judging from the Assassin's initial attack on the Kiri-taku, his stronghold is likely to be in the area of Fukayama Town. ”

"We're temporarily suspending active attacks on other masters and servants, and we're focusing our operations on searching for the Assassin's whereabouts."

Red A has no objection to this: "I agree, Assassin was originally my target, that guy played a trick in front of me, and I must get this account back." ”

Lancer also nodded solemnly: "I promised Illya to protect Alice Phil's safety during the Holy Grail War, and I will definitely do my best to find her, this is my promise as a king." ”

……

The second night of the Holy Grail War ended, and Lu Xiao thought that there would be a heroic spirit to leave tonight, but the development of the situation was still a little unexpected for him.

"Tosaka Shichen, are you determined to hide in the Tosaka Mansion as a turtle to the end?"

Limited by the relationship with Rin and Sakura, it is not convenient for Lu Xiao to take the initiative to attack the Tosaka Mansion.

Moreover, Tosaka Toshitomi has Archer Gilgamesh and Berserker Lancelot in his hands, and if he rushes to the door, he may be seized of the opportunity to fight back.

According to the clues to trace the abandoned small building where Saber and Lancer fought last night, Lu Xiao first found eye-catching horseshoe prints on the square outside the building.

"Horses? Is Lancer finally no longer hiding his strength? ”

Continuing to search, Lu Xiao found a large number of submachine gun shells on the first floor, which should be the place where Emiya Kiritsugu fought with Kenneth.

"Huh?"

In one of the corners, Lu Xiao found several large-caliber rifle cartridge casings.

"Armor-piercing shells fired by competitors? ...... put it this way."

Using mathematical and geometric principles, Lu Xiao deduced the position and angle of Kiritsugu's shot, and followed the possible trajectory of the bullet to the opposite wall.

"Found it."

An intact warhead was pulled out from the wall, and Lu Xiao placed it flat in the palm of his hand, and he could feel the faint magic power from this bullet.

Using the Time Stone to temporarily freeze the time of this bullet, Lu Xiao stood in place and thought about it for a moment.

"Perhaps, it works?"

……

During the day of the third day of the Holy Grail War, Lu Xiao received an unexpected bullet, and on the way back to the workshop, he happened to meet Rider who was wandering around the shopping street in Fuyamacho.

When Lu Xiaoyu saw Rider, he was still carrying a rather quaint wooden barrel on his shoulder, and the sound of liquid flowing in the barrel could be faintly heard between the shakes.

'Wine? ’

"Oooh! Assassin, you guys seemed to have a pretty good time last night. ”

Lu Xiao shrugged: "It has nothing to do with me, I just went out for a walk to collect intelligence, and last night's movement was made by Saber and Lancer." ”

"It's you, Rider, you didn't take the initiative last night, it's not like your character."

"Hahaha~ This one."

Rider scratched his head a little embarrassed: "I didn't feel the breath of the big war last night, so I simply stayed at home for the time being and played grand strategy as compensation......"

"Boom!"

Rider patted the barrel on his shoulder heavily, and a smile appeared on his face that wanted to make trouble: "I'm going to hold a king's wine banquet tonight, and I happened to meet a golden pickup while shopping not long ago, and I only need to make another trip to Einzberen Castle to get the three kings." ”

"Oh?"

Lu Xiao raised her eyebrows in some surprise: "You already know Lancer's identity?" ”

"I wasn't sure before last night, but I was already 70% sure that I watched the battle between Lancer and Saber through Weber's envoy."

Rider touched his chin meaningfully: "Even Saber can't compare to the knight's light and unconsciously revealed the kingly demeanor, if I'm not mistaken, Lancer should be the world-famous king." ”

"How's it going, Assassin."

Rider took the opportunity to invite Lu Xiao: "Do you want to come with you too?" ”

"Me?"

Lu Xiao was stunned and asked, "Isn't it the king's banquet?" I've never been a king. ”

"Hahaha!"

Rider laughed disapprovingly, "The king's words are open to all the peoples, and anyone who comes to listen to them will be entertained by the king." ”

"Smack!"

Rider's big hand patted Lu Xiao's shoulder hard, and the huge force made the corners of Lu Xiao's mouth twitch a little.

"Assassin, this is also an opportunity."

"As a hero who has left a name in history, how can he always hide in the shadows and formulate strategies, and stand up openly and let other masters and servants know him."

Rider said meaningfully, "You don't want to be targeted by multiple enemies anymore, do you?" ”

"Take a step back to make your enemies see you in full detail, so that they don't fall into hysterical madness in the face of the fear of the unknown."

"It's not easy to deal with a crazy enemy."

After saying this, Rider and Lu Xiao passed by.

"Don't forget! Tonight at 0:00 at the Einzberen Castle. ”

"If you have a familiar Heroic Spirit who would like to attend the banquet, bring them with you, and I promise in the name of the King of Conquest that no one will be allowed to be rough with the banquet."

Looking at the back of Rider striding away, Lu Xiao's eyes narrowed slightly, "Unknown fear, whose fear, enemy?" Or ......'
